The purpose of this volume is to identify and analyze the
mechanisms and processes through which concepts and institutions of
transcultural phenomena gain and are given momentum. Applied to a
range of cases, including examples drawn from ancient Greece and
modern India, the early modern Portuguese presence in China and
politics of elite-mass dynamics in the People's Republic of China,
the book provides a template for the study of transcultural
dynamics over time. Besides the epochal range, the papers in this
volume illustrate the thematic diversity assembled under the
umbrella of the Heidelberg Cluster of Excellence "Asia and Europe
in a Global Context." Drawing from both the humanities and social
sciences, stretching across several world areas and centuries, the
book is an interdisciplinary work, aptly reflected in the
collaboration of its editors: a historian and political scientist.
